Ya know what I love about this time of year? We get one week of "guilt free" fun! Aka, the week before New Years! When that clock hits midnight we all get a clean slate!!
Two days after Christmas I stepped on the scale, and oh crap! I gain 2.5 of the 5 I lost back! Talk about a bah humbug moment!! I watched every single bite I took, and probably annoyed the crap out of my family with all my diet demands! (P.S. Thank you to my family for putting up with it!) I worked hard, I dieted harder and I feel like failure!
Well, one week from today, I get a new slate!! How awesome! I, however, am starting one week early. Why not, eh? Why should we wait for our lives to begin. I read a stat that 75% of people make a new years resolution. 45% of those people fail within one week, and 40% of the remaining fail after one month. I'm not gonna be part of that stat again.
I WILL reach my goal in 2012. Why? Because I can. And I dare someone to tell me otherwise!
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! May your 2012 be as awesome as mine is going to be!!
You go girl!! You are an inspiration!! :)
